Ingredients

• 5-6 medium zucchini
• ¾ teaspoon of salt
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• ¼ cup unsalted shelled pistachios
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil plus 2 separate tablespoons
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 450 gr raw shrimps, peeled and left if desired
• 1-2 teaspoons of fish spice blend

Preparation
Using a spiral vegetable cutter or vegetable peeler, cut zucchini lengthwise into long thin strips. Stop when you reach the seeds in the middle. Place the zucchini "noodles" in a colander and mix with ½ teaspoon of salt. Let drain for 15 to 30 minutes, then press gently to remove any excess water.

Meanwhile, mix avocado, basil, pistachios, lemon juice, pepper and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt in a food processor. Finely chop then add ¼ cup of oil and mix until smooth.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Add shrimp and sprinkle with fish spice mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp is almost cooked for 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

Add the rest of the tablespoon of oil to the pan, then drain the noodles and mix gently for about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the bowl, add the pesto and mix gently.
